Are you blinded by the god of this world?

Dream about the mark

I had a dream in which my wife and I were at  a home with a few people, I could not identify any of them. Then there was an earthquake, it did not seem like it was going to be a bad one. Then the house we were in was knocked off of it’s foundation and the whole house rolled over on its side. It became a refugee situation people were in line for help, a long line. In this dream for some reason my son was much younger, maybe 12 or younger. I did not see him in the dream, but he had been separated from us in the chaos of the earthquake. The next thing I know I am driving along and get pulled over by a local cop, or sheriff. The cop hands me a citation to appear and says we have your son, if you want him back appear for the citation and take the mark and you can have him back. I played dumb and asked the officer what he was talking about, what mark? He became angry and said you know what mark I am talking about, if you don’t take the mark we will kill your son. Then I was with my wife and an unidentified couple, we were in their house getting ready to eat and my wife broke down crying and told the other couple, “they have our son”! The other couple offered sympathy and the dream ended.

 In this dream I was aware of what was going on, I knew what was meant by taking the mark, what it would mean for my soul. But the Lord was not mentioned by anyone in this dream, no reference at all to our Savior.

Also as we can now see things progressing toward the time of the end as believers, in this dream there did not seem to be any warning. Things seemed fairly normal no hint we were approaching the end times, then suddenly the earthquake and immediately we were in the time with authorities demanding we take the mark.

As I started my devotions this morning the Lord spoke to my heart that this is how the time of people being faced with taking the mark will affect people who are not in a right standing walk with the Lord. They are in a spiritual stupor, blinded by the god of this world. More and more I can see the separation taking place between the goats and the sheep, the wheat and the tares even among my own family members.

2 Corinthians 4:4
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Are you where you need to be with Jesus? If not call on him in repentance and put him first in your life!
